Thanks for these very helpful suggestions.  I have a couple of follow up questions: 1.  Would the local death report contain information that is different from a death certificate filed with the State of Indiana?  I have a copy of Melvina (Aldridge) Moore Sands QUILLEN's death certificate from the state.  The family information in that was provided by a grandson, Edward BURK, and does not include names or birth places for Melvina's parents. 2.  Is there someone I could contact for help in checking the newspaper archives (CDPL or elsewhere) for an obituary or news report on the death of Jeremiah ALDRIDGE (25 May 1807-31 Dec 1896)?  I contacted the library directly about this awhile back but think they are quite busy and hate to impose on the staff there.

Hmm, I think it's the same but never had that question or thought of that question. Anyone know for sure? If there are no entries for Jeremiah Aldridge in the Crawfordsville index, then he unlikely had no obituary - there would be a slight possibility he may have had one under "Ladoga" or "Linden" stating he died and was how old and buried where but would likely not be a lengthy one, plus the indexers are GREAT at catching those anyway so doubt there'd be one. Unless you could catch her in a probate, or find where the brother/sister died, I can't think of much else you could do here :( Sorry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sally Finney" <saf58inks@yahoo.com> To: <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 6:32 AM Subject: Re: [InMontgo] ALDRIDGE, MOORE, SANDS in Indiana Thanks for these very helpful suggestions.

Is this the marriages for Melvina, and death record and obit, it looks as if no one really knew how her name was spelled, notice the differant spelling Kim ALDRIDGE, ELVIRA MOORE, ISRAEL E April 22/1852 3 425 MOORE, MELVINA ABYAH SANOS NOV 20 1864 6 267 SANDS, MELVINA QUILLEN, THOMAS 3-14-1876 8 417 QUILLEN Melvina F 72 14 Dec 1906 Madison Twp. H 34 35 So it lists her parents names but not location of birth, is that all you need? there may be in her obit *Quillen* Melvina obituary Crawfordsville Daily Journal 18-Dec-1906 4: 2 (Aldridge); M1-Moore, Israel; M2-Sands, Abijah; M3-Quillen, Thomas (Rev) *Quillen* Melvina obituary Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 21-Dec-1906 10: 3 Quillan *Melvina* Moore 1833 1906 4-109 2-146 Darlington IOOF Cemetery (Franklin) On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 6:32 AM, Sally Finney <saf58inks@yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks for these very helpful suggestions. > > I have a couple of follow up questions: > > 1.
